I enjoyed this thoroughly

An Incredible Book

Jan. 24, 2023, 9:17 a.m. A review for 'A Woman of Noble Wit', by Dr Marilyn Fryer

This is set against a backcloth of war and social upheaval which challenges her, her family, and others - rich and poor.

Well researched and written, thoroughly enjoyable. The author brings her enthusiasm and knowledge of the period to life. You gain an insight into what life must have been like for people who weren't part of the court during the turmoil of Tudor times. The characters are people who really existed in the west country.
